Ok so it's been CRAZY lately. I am now back in LA again from New York where we were for about 4 minutes. Not sure how long we will be in LA for this time as now we have to fly to Hawaii to shoot Dexter Holland from The Offspring, as he is there making a new record. So here's what happened in the last few days.
Sunday - Flew to New York, passed out on the plane, i was still drunk from SXSW. Get to our friend Jackis house in New York where i always stay, she lives in the East Village right across from Niagra, it's an awesome spot. Today is Matt Wardles 22nd Birthday, so we goto dinner with his parents uptown, get really drunk on red wine and eat good food. Next we meet up with Jacki and Cheryl at Miu, then off to Employees Only which is fun. In another taxi. Now at Niagra, it's about 3am. Oh what i'm vomiting in the toilet, 2 dudes walk in and ask if i'm OK, i say sure rub my eyes. I think i'm crying. Get back to the apartment and start emailing Australia, i fall asleep at 6am.
Monday - 3pm my phone rings and wakes me. It's Tom from Universal Records, i have a meeting with him at 6 today. Shit. Outta bed and head up to Universal, takes me an hour to get home on the Subway(?) and i walk into the apartment and see Trinity there talking with Mata. Hi Trinity. Then her friend Irena comes around, she's a lawyer at MTV. Next is Laura. We all go and eat at this amazing Japanese/South American fusion place and eat lot's. It's myself and 5 girls, that's just how i roll. No big deal.
Tuesday - Up early again and back to JFK to fly to Los Angeles. So tirrrrreedd, i'm going off another 4 hours sleep. Once again i pass out on the plane. When we arrive, Tim Armstrong who we are meant to be staying with, is busy tonight and we need to find a place to crash. But first we are going to a fashion show for designer Joey Tierney in Culver City, we have never been to a show before and are on the list because our friend Mata did the jewelery for the show. Hot girls EVERYWHERE. Holy shit. I decide it's better just to look at the ground as i'm overwhelmed. Then we see Juliette Lewis walk in, next is Dustin Hoffman. They have front row seats on the cat walk, Dustin is shouting at the models as they come down the cat walk. Pretty funny. The show ends and we get invited to the after party. Thanks Mata. We get in touch with our friends Casey and Shannon who have given us a place to stay for the night in West Hollywood. Thanks Casey and Shannon. They live in the last residence of Jim Morrison from The Doors and there are Doors posters everywhere. Now off to the after party at Joeys house. We get in, lots of models around and a bar outside. We opt for the bar outside and drink about 500 tequila cocktail things. Man i'm drunk. Mike Dirnt of Green Day comes over and says hi, he gives me props on my hoodie. Nice guy. Party ends and we head to the after after party at Parc in Hollywood. I get in and sit in a booth with some of the models from the show tonight, they're really cool and we hang out for the rest of the night. When they leave some dude tells me that those girls i was speaking too were Sting's daughters. Woah. The Police are one of my favourite bands EVER. Matt is hanging out with Mike Dirnt all night and eventually we stumble out and head home. Once again DRUNK. I had my camcorder with me all night filming stuff for THE JAI SHOW, so expect some funny stuff once i get around to editing.
I don't know how long we will be in LA for but we are staying with Tim from tonight. Still have a bunch of interviews to shoot this week including Mark Hoppus, Tom Delonge, Tim Curran, Trevor Keith, Brett Gurewitz and Greg Graffin. Dom and Chalker have left us, so our new DOP is Jarrod from Santa Cruz. We just met him today and he's a BMX rider and makes BMX films. Cool dude. Oh check out what we are driving now in LA, we got a free upgrade :)
Our car the Dodge Charger.
Jarrod aka the new Dom.
